chore: daily-upstream-check routine blocked — no write access to push branches

[NativeTeachingAidsB]

Routine blocker — 2026-07-16

The daily-upstream-check routine ran today (2026-07-16T09:00 UTC) but could not commit its results because the remote-agent environment lacks write access to the repository.

What happened

All 15 upstream sources were checked. 8 succeeded, 7 returned 403. The routine attempted to commit docs/upstream-log/state.json and docs/upstream-log/2026-07.md on branch chore/routines-daily-2026-07-16 but every write path was blocked:

• git push -u origin chore/routines-daily-2026-07-16 → 403 from the session git proxy
• mcp__github__push_files (create branch + push) → 403 Resource not accessible by integration

Required fixes

1. Grant the routine's GitHub integration write access to opencircuitdev/codetalker (at minimum: create branch, push commits, create PRs).
2. Broaden egress policy to allow the agent to reach cursor.com, windsurf.com, and marketplace.visualstudio.com — or replace those sources with API-accessible equivalents.
3. Authenticate GitHub API calls for the zed/mcp-spec/claude-plugins-official endpoints, or add them to the GitHub MCP server's repo scope so the authenticated MCP tool can be used.
